Join Slow Food Urban San Diego at Cups La Jolla for a culinary showcase of grain-free cooking. Grain free diets have increased in popularity in recent years with those who follow a “Paleo” style diet, and also those who are gluten-sensitive. Eliminating or cutting back on grains may also be beneficial to diabetics, pre-diabetics, and those with other digestive issues. Even if you don’t have these issues, it may still benefit you to learn about a few grain-free dishes that focus on tasty vegetables and fruits, meat, and nuts. Rachel Helmer and Michelle Guidroz will take you on a grain-free journey in the culinary kitchen at Cups, preparing an autumn brunch which will include Grain Free Pumpkin Muffins, Grain Free Apple Crumble, a delicious salad, and an autumn themed pizza. Yes, that’s right, a grain free pizza. Everyone will be able to sample the goodness we create, and we will provide recipes for everyone to take home. Keep an eye out for more details on our website when tickets become available.

I know holiday shopping is the last thing you want to think about but you know it’s coming, you know you have to do it at some point. Whether it’s for a company gift exchange, or your family’s secret santa, or getting that something special for your boo – you know you need a gift! So why not pick up something made from the heart and possibly by someone you may know!!

That’s the idea for this event!!

Plus it’s even more than that b/c we will have art, music, and food!!!
Plus were doing crafts too!! These could also be cool gifts!
Wow, homemade gifts from you? Your parents will love it!!!

But really this event is for you! It’s for you to have a good time with your friends and check out what the community has to amaze us with!

Please be sure to bring a dish for the potluck!
Anything you can bring will be greatly appreciated.

Also we would like to ask that you bring your own utensils, plates, and cups if possible to help from less contribution to the already exuberant amount of plastic that already exists ;)

Let’s get together for a great time together and enjoy each other gifts and company while building our community!

We have some vendors for the mini-market already signed up but I am looking for some more crafters, herbalists, and creative DIY people who are looking to get their products known by people of the community {and make a couple extra bucks too} So if you or someone you know has a special skill or product and would be interested in showcasing their product please tell them about this event and have them contact me directly at Nikki@bnhealthy.net
